prickly pear

Prickly pear cactus jam is one of the coolest jams I've ever tried. It's perfect with pancakes, crepes, toasts or English muffins. This recipe is ridiculously simple and it only takes 15 minutes! Jam can be stored in the fridge for over a month.

I've always wanted to make prickly pear jelly, but never had the opportunity until now. This recipe is something I developed based on my experience with canning over the past several years. The jelly it produces is beautiful and tasty.
